Westsidegal, does Beverage Warehouse let you purchase single bottles from a 6-pack like Trader Joe's and Whole Foods do?

After over 30 years without having a single beer (yeah, I am not exactly a hophead), I have recently read about some health benefits of beer and I am willing to drink one a week. I am currently sampling beers that are highly rated at Beer Advocate and are described in a way that lets me believe I might tolerate the taste (Allagash and Hoegaarden are my recent favorites), but Trader Joe's and Whole Foods don't carry a wide selection.

I'd appreciate recs for singleton selections in the San Fernando Valley.

I'm not sure which Whole Foods Market you have checked but the location that I linked to here (and several others) have an amazing selection of domestic craft beers and also some excellent imported choices mixed in with a lot of the macro brews. Also the selection varies from store to store as they have different buyers and local distribution delivery drivers. My strategy is to talk to the 'beer guy' and they are usually very helpful.

+1 - this WF has so much floor space. Beer is dedicated to multiple areas (cooler around a food kiosk, a cooler/island adjacent to it, as well as a wall cooler, and the dedicated beer cooler a few aisles away) but walk around and actively look for small beer displays scattered around the back and toward the cheese area as well. As much as I like the selection at Beverage Warehouse, the beer at WF is kept relatively cool to cold - no skunky beer.
